OK, Barry and the Remains I remember from my youth, being a "local" band and all...Barry went on to play with one of Emmy Lou Harris's bands, so no slouch...do not know any of the other players pictured above...
How's this? A good friend was in nursing home, never to return home, would visit him weekly and gave him my portable CD player and headphones to use...he gets moved to major hospital (his last move) and wife cleans out his stuff...CD player and (only) two CD's missing!...Byrd's second album and Barry & The Remains, everything else I gave him was left...opportunistic or a friggin' thief with taste?
Poor Don, he knew the players from Beacon Street Union, coming from "Sou' Med'fud." Couldn't find a CD for him. RIP my good friend...

...and for the real gear-heads, the bass player's axe was a Teisco baritone...this I got from an email to Barry, years ago...

Only 'famous' one I know is a person who's 'famous' in his own family. 
The Slim Jim was originally Cherry Red, but I used an electric sander to make it natural. Wish I still had it.
BTW I have never heard of those mentioned either
You can hear it being played live in 1966 on the first part of this video

Barry Tashian from The Remains. The Remains were one of the on The Beatles final US tour in 1966. This album is actually really good, and you can hear the T100 very clearly.
Another photo.
He has a book of his experience:

I'm friendly with all the guys in The Remains, including bassist Vern Miller, who is one of my closest friends. He and I have played in bands together for years. He is far and away the best bass player I have ever worked with.
Barry started out with a T-100 and later switched over to an Epiphone Al Caiola and then, a Telecaster. When The Remains started doing gigs in the early part of this century, Barry bought another Al Caiola from George Gruhn, and that's the guitar he used until the band retired a few years ago. Remains drummer Chip Damiani, another buddy of mine, died in 2013 of a cerebral hemorrhage.

And let's not forget that @The Guilds of Grot is our own famous T-100D player (he has posted photos of himself as a kid playing it).

Famous enough?

That's right. Vern still wishes he never got rid of that Teisco baritone. He switched to an Epiphine Rivoli, and then to a Fender Precision or a Jazz bass, which is what he has stuck with.
Right, I remember seeing George Benson playing his T100 in one of the very first scenes of the Pittsburgh musicians documentary which came out about three years ago.This photo was posted not too long ago, but in a different context!

That’s Queen Bee. She is my main guitar on stage with Iron City.

Daniel Rossen of Department of Eagles (T-50, I believe, but with the exception of the cut-away, it's the same guitar as a T-100, right?)
